LugHost hosting -- Service shutting down (page 11)

[Subpixel]

For all you Lug-host clients, it's so sad that you will lose / already lost your hosting. I am willing to accept you into my hosting service, since I want to be nice and provide for the loss of hosting. For free.
Just PM me. I am not trying to advertise here, but notifying Lug-host's clients that I can take them after it ends.

What the forget is wrong with you?

You know, I really don't want to point the finger, and there is no evidence to suggest it - specifically because no one had any way of knowing that one DDoS would lead to total shutdown of my service - but god damn does Hammereditor seem to be capitalizing on this a bit too much.

Hammer, really? My god. You know this is what a HORRIBLE hosting service does. Try's to force clients. Well not force. But get people from LugHost to HammerHost. This is just unacceptable. My god.

For the next time, get some sort of I dont know that some goverment pages have (I think its Akamai) so people can't DDoS

And in the case Hammer did such an action, he must have no sense of fair playing

RIP LUGNUT HOSTING

There is a company called CloudFlare that does precisely what you're suggesting - it only works for websites though, not game servers.

I can understand the policy that if you launch a DDoS using myHosting, they revoke your account, but forgive me, why if you are attacked? If you have a public service on the internet, it's practically unavoidable nowadays.

Due to the fact that I have a VPS, it makes their entire network (as well as other users on my node) sluggish, or takes it down completely.

Getting hit with a DDoS to a VPS is detrimental to everyone they're providing a service for.
I am unsure how Server4You handles it, but they do somehow.

Ah, I see.

Well that's too bad, hopefully you get refunded.

you have the ip of the person who did it

i remain incredibly, inalienably suspicious of hammereditor.

I have permanently trashed my whole reputation on this community by conducting denial-of-service attacks in the past. Why would I do that again?
And how would I get the resources to execute such an attack?

[Electrk.]

my guess would be hammereditor or lub/rub

[Kniaz]

This is a serious bummer. I was going to see if I could buy a server in a few days when I get my next paycheck :/

Whoever did this is serious scum.

No. Distributed Denial of Service attacks leverage a botnet and hundreds of different computers across the planet.
It is possible that the attacker was one of these individuals, but unlikely. Furthermore, it is extremely likely the attacker used anonymous payments like Bitcoin, as well as a proxy to prevent anything from being traced back to them.

I do not have the IP address of the attacker (or any of the poor pwned souls who's computers contributed) - if I did, I would have instantly posted it publicly.

Bitcoin? I really doubt you're dumb enough to try something like that though - you do seem to be trying to make it work. Could be an act, but I'm buying it.
